Story
I made a conscious decision to cheat on my husband. Now, before you judge me, hear my story. Hear how much I'm like you, how similar my thoughts are to your own. Yes, I'm a horrible person. Yes, I've done horrible things. Yes, I don't deserve forgiveness. Yes, bad things happened because of my actions. But I'm willing to bet I've done things that maybe, just maybe, you have thought of doing. Maybe, just maybe, you're not as innocent as you'd like to think. Or maybe I'm not so guilty....

As the captain of a schooner catering to the elite on the Caribbean Seas, Sebastian Stark does his best to avoid any human encounters. Interacting with people isn't his thing, and he prefers the company of a bottle of vodka, a shot glass, and maybe a whore. There's no doubt he's hiding from a checkered past, but he does well keeping everything to himself...until the night his schooner capsizes, and he's stuck on a life raft with one of the passengers. Raine's young, she's cute, and Bastian would probably be into her if he wasn't suffering from alcohol withdrawal.

Story
My boss swore kidnapping the accountant’s daughter would be quick and easy. Just find the girl at the wedding, stuff her into a car, and let someone else drive her off. My last dirty job before I get promoted. I wasn’t supposed to dance with her all night. I wasn’t supposed to kiss her, hook up with her outside the wedding, or beat up the getaway driver up when I found him in the parking lot, totally f--king wasted. And I absolutely wasn’t supposed to drive her to the safe house myself.

Edward Fasbender is a devil. He’s my father's biggest rival. He takes what he wants, and he bows to no one. And now Edward Fasbender wants me. I didn’t expect to want him back. Having him is not in the cards, not when a union with him would destroy my father. But that doesn’t mean I can’t play with him a bit. Except, I’ve never played against such a ruthless opponent. Edward is cold and vicious, and my blood has never run hotter. They say you should choose the devil you know, but I've always preferred long odds. Even if it'll get me slain.

Roller Coaster
What a ride! This was a rollercoaster of all sorts of action, sex and suspense. I loved the storyline. No secret that the male lead is rough! I would love to watch this as a movie. I could see it all play out in my mind. Was quite upset with the end though, cliff-hanger. And I was extremely angry with Marc. But we’ll just have to read book two. The female narrator was not so good with the male voices. I battled to put into context that the same person was interpreted when she did the male voices. Other than that, no other criticism.

This should be a movie..
But, it might get ruined so maybe just stick with the Audible. Lily is a kick a$$ heroine who gives as good as she gets (and then some!) Marc is a great anti-hero who can turn on the charm when needed, but is more comfortable in his role as mercenary. (Although he doesn't show Lily much mercy in parts of the book). This ends on a cliff hanger which I wanted to join Lily in kicking a certain someone's a$$, so I'm off to get the second book. For the record, I HATE duets & trilogies but I really enjoyed this story and one of my favorite booksets is the Kane trilogy, so I'm in.
**my only draw back in here was the female narrator sounded like a pack a day smoker when reading Marc's part which was kind of distracting. Otherwise, she and the male narrator did a good job!!
